Aging

In my game every sim must age. I have a special way of controlling aging in my game. I try to keep it simple so that I will remember who ages when. I don’t have my own calender like some people do. I use the tools in the game to age my sims in the way that I think is beneficial and allows for time to flow smoothly yet fast. Because if I left it up to myself, my sims would all age really slowly. Now on to aging.

Elders:

Elders get 2 drinks from the Elixir of Life or I use the Sim Blender to give them and additional 3 days (I only use this if they are not in gold aspiration).

Elders gets the time that the game allows when they become elders plus an additional 6 days. I do this because I think that Elders die to soon. And it allows me time to fill their lifetime wants or for them to meet their grandchildren.

Adults:

Adults get 3 drinks of the Elixir of Life for a total of 9 additional days to their life span. (I think this might change in the future)

Adults drink the Elixir at 15 days, 5 days, and 2 days. They always drink the Elixir after 6 pm.

Teens:

From Teen to YA: If a sim is going to college they usually leave when they have around 4 days left. There is some room to wiggle in this restriction which I will describe later.

From Teen to Adult: Aging happens on the exact day. Teens age at 6 pm if they are skipping the YA stage and becoming an adult. The only teens that do this are the ones that do not go to college.
